Ryan Reynolds "actively" working on Deadpool spinoff

[Ace of Knaves]

Well they are in the business of making money.

That's why I think it is highly likely that what Reynolds says is gonna happen. THE only reason Deadpool could be a financially viable product is if they keep that uniqueness. You take away the things that make Deadpool Deadpool, all you are left with is a generic loud mouth action hero. That's been seen a billion times before.

With characters like Wolverine changes can be made(even if they shouldn't be) and he still has some semblence of the Wolverine character. With Deadpool that isn't possible.

Look at Daredevil, a Fox movie. VERY accurate to the source material. Why? Because that is the ONLY way it could of worked. Same applies to Deadpool.

Ryan Reynolds Talks Deadpool
Exclusive: Wade will break fourth wall

Ryan Reynolds was in London to promote The Proposal last night and in between rom-com patter and general charm, he gave us an update on his eagerly-awaited Deadpool spin-off. There's a double dose of good news for fans of the Marvel mercenary. Reynolds says Deadpool will breach the fourth wall: “Break the fourth wall? Oh yeah, he’s got to. I want to see him break the Great Wall."

Confirming what he recently told HitFix, Reynolds emphasised that he and 20th Century Fox were working to ensure that Deadpool close sticks as closely as possible to the Marvel comic-book: “The studio's working on a script and trying to find a director. The main goal is to make sure it stays close to the source material."

So does Reynolds feel under pressure from fanboys? “I’m one of them. I’ve always been a fan, at least for the last eight or nine years. I feel a bit of validation because I knew going into Wolverine that there’s a huge fanbase for this and I don’t think anyone else did."

SPOILER: One thing the annoyingly charming and funny leading man wouldn't go into was the little matter of that decapitation: “That we won’t speak of." So perhaps they haven't nailed the thorny problem of reattaching his head, unsewing his mouth and generally undoing the entire last act of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Still, it's comforting to know that the one name so far attached to the project is a die-hard fanboy, and we're currently basking in beautiful visions of a cross between Blade (without the vampires) and Ferris Bueller's Day Off (the bits where he talks to the audience): please don't burst our bubble.

I personally still like the idea of Weapon XI being a clone. Honestly I just say forget the X-men exist in Deadpool. With the exception of Cable and such, but jesus, after Wolverine I would distance myself as much from that as possible.

I hope Ryan gets to make this movie. I am a huge Deadpool fan, and I have said since 2002 that I would cast him for Deadpool. Furthermore I really love the idea of Adam Baldwin as Cable. The idea of Reynolds and Baldwin on screen just screams awesomeness. I really hope this happens. I really hope that Fox woke the **** up after Wolverine tanked and said "crap... that Reynolds guy he really knows his comics lets let him handle our next comic movie maybe he can solve this mysterious ongoing problem of all of our non Singer comic book franchises blowing."

 

[Minus Shock]

This was a double post so if someone could delete this it would be awesome.

If not.... Ryan Reynolds is a stud muffin. There... it's deadpool related.

 

[E-Man]

The more Reynolds talks about it, the more I anticipate this. I'm trying to keep my cynicism at bay, and what he's proposing is sounding really good.

 

[Spider-Vader]

If Reynolds leaves this project, I'm going to kill Rothman.

 

[Tex]

i like how he said he will be breaking the 4th wall. sounds good.

 

[Tex]

anyone have ideas how the script could go? show his beginnings obviously and hopefully not show or acknowledge the events of wolverine.

 

[Minus Shock]

I think it would be awesome if he mentioned other superhero movies. not all the time or anything but like in breaking the fourth wall talk about downey as Iron Man, or Bale as Batman or something.

Where is the Ace of Knaves anyhow? It feels like he single-handedly created the enthusiasm for this flick?

 

[Eggyman]

He's on probation until the 17th so asked me to post that for him. He's here in spirit guys

Oh lord Blade/Ferris Buller Day Off that will never work. Blade talking like Ferris did to the audience. Ferris craked jokes for the most part what will Blade do? And do vampires thats what makes Blade Blade.

Your taking it far too literal

Dude, you do realize when he mentioned those movies he was reffering to the content of them, farris buler- comedy, and breaking the forth wall.
Blade- the high action, blood and intensity.
Combine those elements, and add in ryan reynolds with a deadpool mask, a couple swords, and some really big guns and we have a deadpool movie.

What did he do? I have found him quite restrained even in the face of serious provocation.

Re: the fourth wall, does anybody have any feelings on just exactly how much 4th wall breakage should happen?

Unless it's a voiceover narration where it can run right throughout the film (and in the style of his Hannibal KIng Blade Trinity intro), I would prefer there to be very few instances.

This is freakin' great! The movie woulda been much cooler if it actually ended this way! I'm serious!

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Yeah that's been around for a couple weeks now.

 

[Hypestyle]

heh.. how often will Wade wear the mask in the film (or at all?) ? usually, for handsome actors, the idea is that they want their face to be seen...

 

[cerealkiller182]

For Ryan Reynolds, the idea is that he wants to be as true to the character as possible so he'll at least be pushing for the mask. Even without the mask, the nature of Deadpool would not allow Ryan to show off his looks anyway.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Yeah I'm expecting the mask at least 70% of the film. The only time I expect not to see him in the mask is before he makes it, before he's ugly, and when he's around blind al and weasle.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Yeah I'm expecting the mask at least 70% of the film. The only time I expect not to see him in the mask is before he makes it, before he's ugly in some sort of flash backs when he first joined strykers team x(yes I still believe this movie should be loosely linked to xmo.), and when he's around blind al and weasel.

I don't think they should overplay the 4th wall, but it's got to be done in the style of like almost Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Where he directly acknowledges the audience.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Ferris Beuller-style 4th wall breaking I think is a little too much especially since Deadpool should still be an action-thriller despite the jokes.

I'd rather see it as a subtle use of the spoof movie version where they talk about cliches. In Not Another Teen Movie, he talks about being a token black guy. In My Big Fat Independent Movie they talk about how they are anti-heroes and they have to kill people worse then them so that the audience would still like them. Not really talking to the audience, but a subtle sense of awareness.

 

[Minus Shock]

Yeah but is Deadpool really subtle? I get what you're saying though. While it would never ever happen I think it would be great if they said something like "this isn't the barakapool from Wolverine" or something like that. Hehe.

I know that breaking the fourth wall can be as simple as just revealing they know they are fictitious, but I think doing it once or twice wont be so bad. I mean Tom Cruise kinda did it in Mission Impossible Three. I dont think it would take away from the action aspect of the movie.
